The WordPerfect available "here" is the Mac OS 7, 8, 9 version 3.5e ("4") that has been (thru LOTS of diligent effort and ingenuity) made to run within an "emulator" (most often, "SheepShaver") thereby ALLOWING the 'committed' (pun intended) devotees to continue to use it as their main document creation software. Believe it or not.

(Whew. That was one Llooong run-on sentence.)

IF you were, at one time ('back when'), a user of WP for the Mac, THEN what is available thru and with the help of this group, is a means to, once again, run WP on a modern Macintosh.

IF you have NO interest to doing that, then it would be better to try something else for your 'word processing'.

Sincerely,
